Travis.i thought a 38r to be better than a d66....since I'm starting with a sd engine my manifolds are late style.the spider was free rather than overpriced e99.3"plenums for 25$ new.sd pedistal 40$. A set of doorman bellowd up pipes with collector for 200.all i need is the turbo and i don't need an expensive or time consuming kit.it made sence to me that the savings almost paid for the inj. i may be wrong but to me it made sence.and them sd boys upgrade so the stock parts are cheeeep and I'm poor.I'm only wanting a moderate tow rig.i got other stuff to go fast in.375-400 hp range.if more then so be it. next will be trans....

Tomorrow I'm just going 200 miles to Flagstaff, AZ. Its one he!! of a hill getting up to Flagstaff. I've gone that way three or four times now and the worse was when I was pulling that trailer behind the 5er and had terrible up pipe leaks. I was down to 23 in 1st, LOL That was a nightmare!

I still like mine, but I haven't had anything else. I would like to get another one for after the turbo, just to see what the difference is in temps I always heard it was about 200 degrees. I think that would be a good way to compare and verify accuracy or at least compare. I think there is enough space in the next to start position to install another gauge.

Well.went up ti gabes today and saw all his hard work in person.his father in law was good enough to pull the inj cups put of the core heads.
houston....we have found the issue i believe was the reason it was pulled.one inj cup was cracked real good.i have found nil otherwise so I'm going with that being the answer.pics to come tomorrow
